Bristol Police are investigating a fatal accident that occurred early this morning in a Dunkin’ Donuts drive-through.

According to police, at 1:56 a.m. a 46-year-old man from Pawtucket entered the drive-through lane to make a delivery to the restaurant at 381 Metacom Ave., at the corner of Franklin Street and Metacom. A man was lying on the ground in the drive-through lane and was struck by the 2017 Isuzu truck.
